Jennifer Lopez Filmed Bronx-Themed Fiat Commercial In Los Angeles
Sources allege to The Smoking Gun that instead of traveling to the Bronx to shoot the driving scenes, a body double was used for shots that could not be recreated in Los Angeles. Lopez filmed the majority of the commercial in the sunny state where footage was compiled so that it appeared as though the 42-year-old songstress took a soul searching trip back to her old stomping grounds — a trip that Lopez reportedly would not take for her multimillion dollar deal with the Italian car company. Although, “Jenny from the Block” did hock her product at the 2011 American Music Awards, performing her new song “Until It Beats No More” on-stage inside a Fiat 500.

‘X Factor’: How Will Astro Address Last Week’s Drama?
Speaking of ‘Stro, the young MC is ready to accept any backlash headed his way after his defiant moment in the bottom two. He’s already apologized on his Facebook wall and on Twitter, but I’m also hearing rumblings of an apology in his pre-performance package.

The X Factor: Paula Abdul Sounds Off on Astro’s Meltdown! Plus, Does Her Group Stand a Chance?!
“It was one of those things that immediately for me, I thought, something’s going on in a commercial break backstage,” she explains. “Right before we were coming back from commercial break, Simon [Cowell] said, ‘He’s not going to do a ‘save me’ song.’ I said, ‘Are you kidding me?’ and I looked over to L.A.

‘Glee’s’ Mark Salling Teases Puck-Quinn-Shelby Triangle
“He’s 18 years old, so it can’t be [wrong for] too long until he’s out of high school,” Salling says, noting that Shelby “may have to cut it off or put it off until a later date.” “Once he’s out of high school, I think it’s game on. They’re the real deal. But who’s to say she’s going to give him that chance; she may not.”
“That’s a safe assumption [that Quinn turns to Puck] or she could be up to something else a little deeper,” Salling teases. “I think those kind of serious feelings can manifest in a few different ways — or maybe she’s trying to get another baby. Quinn’s wanted Beth so badly that she may just try to have another one.”
